Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very Rude, No Bedside Manner
I saw Dr. Briggs for the first time when she became the doctor on at the hospital 4 hours after my son was born, I hemorrhaged, and had preeclampsia. I remember Dr. Briggs coming into the room, not saying anything to me and only addressing the nurse as she began to feel around down there and look at my hemorrhage. She had ZERO communication with me as she felt around. The next day when my blood pressure was still high from preeclampsia, she told me I was just anxious and needed to calm down. I would never recommend her to anyone. Zero empathy, zero communication. I was not even aware I had a hemorrhage until my 2 week PP appointment.

Dr. Briggs, is an amazing gynecologist, and I’m so grateful to have found her! She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, patient, and caring. From the moment I walked into her office, I felt at ease. She takes the time to listen to my concerns, explains everything thoroughly, and never makes me feel rushed.Her professionalism and compassion truly set her apart. Whether it’s a routine check-up or addressing specific health concerns, she always provides the best care. Her staff is also friendly and efficient, making the entire experience smooth and comfortable.One of the most incredible experiences I had with Dr. Briggs was in 2020 when she delivered my second child at the peak of COVID-19. Everyone had lost hope for a normal delivery after my first C-section, but she remained so patient and reassuring throughout the process. Thanks to her expertise and care, I was able to have a safe and smooth delivery, even in such a challenging time.I highly recommend Dr. Briggs!!

Rude, inconsiderate and not helpful
I saw her back in Sept 2023, because my gyno was not available and I distinctly remember how rude and unprofessional she was. I was there with a concern since my annual exam a few weeks prior. She obviously did not have a clue and instead of communicating that and advising me on other options, she took a sample for the labs and sent me on my way, while making me feel like I was wasting her time. I would not recommend her to anyone.

Did not have a great experience, very rude.
Dr. Briggs rushed through the appointment, and dismissed concerns. I asked her about wearing a binder post C-section and her response was 'well it is not going to make you snap back'. That was not my goal, just needed to feel more core support while up and about and wanted to make sure it was safe to wear. She also proceeded to write in the notes from the appointment that I appeared obese. I had just has a baby two weeks prior, and was EXTREMELY swollen, so this was very hurtful to hear. Especially with those postpartum hormones raging! Definitely needs to be coached on a better approach to dealing with postpartum patients.

Best OB.GYN
Maria Briggs is an outstanding OB.GYN. I’ve been seeing her for years, and would never even consider switching to another Dr. She is a quality physician, who listens and does not rush you, is extremely detailed, keeps close track if you have a problem, and does her level best to secure you only the very finest care. I really love Dr. Briggs and would highly recommend her! And her office staff is great too.
